Just a few thoughts
So many great new podcasts this week spanning our industry. Founders of a new hold brand. Report from a medical symposium. Lessons from European gym development. Kilter versus Moon? Industry events of the future? And a bit of philosophy… being happy with less. Plus a nice variety of quality training articles. Last – good luck to all the competitors at next week’s USA Climbing National Championships!
